<strong> Theoretically yall are right BUT in a perfect world only. Since we live here not there you cant put the pump lower than the sump. SOOO you have to force the fuel to the pump.

Re: Info , and pics ..UPDATED! I think the add-on cell in Larry's car puts the sump at a lower position, making it difficult (if not impossible) to get the pump lower.
My next door neighbor and I built a sump from scratch for the stock tank, and had no problem getting the pump below the sump itself, as you can tell in this pic...

Re: Info , and pics ..UPDATED! George, I notice in your picture that you don't have a return line. jIs a return line necessary? I've never really understood the purpose of it.
Re: Info , and pics ..UPDATED! Looking at the pictures.. the pump is higher than the pickup.. but lower than most of the tank <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> .
Anyway.. if you put a simular pump on a stock tanked 'stang without "sumping" the tank, it draws from from a pick up in the bottom of the tank through the top of the tank and a 2ft line. Seen that setup work without problems.

Re: Info , and pics ..UPDATED! Considering that when the car is idling the fuel system is returning 85% of the fuel back to the tank you wont have a problem with the pump. Also the way the pump is mounted behind the tank and is being fed with a -10 line will keep volume and pressure up. If I had mounted the pump lower then it would be hanging out from under the bumper cover and would have looked trashy.
